In Holy Week, we encounter a God who moves ever closer to us, even in our brokenness and shame. Yet what lies before us is a question: will we return to the Lord? This year, through repentance and renewal, let us be ready to greet the Lord at his Resurrection.

25 Days of Advent

Christmastime conjures up pleasant images of the baby Jesus in a manger—but the Gospel of John reminds us that that baby was and is much more than meets the eye. At the nativity, the creator of the universe came to live on the earth in the flesh, and His creation rejected Him. Yet those who recognize Jesus for who He is are born again into a new family.

The Maker in the Manger

In this seven-day reading plan, journey through the Christmas season by reflecting on Jesus's nature as King.

Each day invites you to pause, center your heart, and encounter Christ in a fresh way.

God With Us: Encountering the King This Christmas

This study invites you to prepare your heart for the long-awaited Savior.   During the season of Advent, which means “arrival,” we prepare for the birth of Christ and acknowledge His fulfillment of God’s promises. 

In this devotion, you’ll explore ten prophecies that foretold Jesus’ birth, each one providing a glimpse of God’s master plan in action. Each prophecy highlights God’s faithful character and reminds us that His plans for us are always full of hope. We hope these reflections help you reconnect with the wonder of Jesus, “God with us,” Emmanuel. 

Long Awaited: Prophecies of the Savior's Birth

A Christian Christmas is a devotional that helps you refocus your heart on the true meaning of the season. Each reflection invites you to pause, give thanks, and remember the incredible love behind Christ’s birth.

Through Scripture and thoughtful insight, it explores the promise of His coming, the gift of salvation, and the peace that only Jesus can bring. More than a holiday tradition, this devotional reminds us that Christmas is the beginning of hope — a gift meant to be carried in our hearts all year long.


A Christian Christmas

In a world that often feels cold, chaotic, and distant, this study brings us back to what our hearts long for most—a Savior who draws near. From the cradle to the cross to the promise of His return, Jesus has always come close. Not to condemn but to rescue. Not to remain distant but to dwell with us. 

In this Bible study, you’ll journey through key passages of Scripture that reveal the nearness of Christ at His birth, in His mission to save sinners, through His sacrifice on the cross, and in the hope of His glorious return.
